> prompting evacuations and warnings to stay inside to avoid noxious fumes in Monterey County.
This is what I have always been worried about... Modern industry seems all fine until a fire breaks out or a train overturns.

  What type of fire smoke is not toxic?

    Pure hydrogen fire?
    Depends on what's making up the burning airship .. but that's not the hydrogen fire, that's the additives.

    I mean it's a standard warning for fires, but battery fires are a more dangerous form of toxic due to the corrosive materials batteries are made of.

I was on a run last night and noticed the glow. How many times has that battery plant caught fire? Seems like grid scale battery technology is not ready for the lime light. AB 2514 forced utilities to build out this dumpster fire. It's ironic that California's climate solution is burning while the state blames climate change for the LA fire.

  Other reports indicate this facility has had fires twice before.

    That seems like a high rate of fires given that plant opened at the end of 2020. I wonder what to total cost.

Some outlets originally blamed Tesla, but it apparently has nothing to do with Tesla.
